Q&A
Why do so many Walnut Creek sprinkler systems fail, and how do you fix them?
In our area, common issues like broken sprinkler heads or poor lawn grading often stem from systems installed with inferior parts or without proper planning for local soil and slope. We address this by first diagnosing the root cause—whether it's a single leak or a flawed design. For repairs, we use durable components. For full re-dos, we design an irrigation system tailored to your property's specific layout, using quality materials to ensure it operates efficiently for years, not just a few seasons.
What sets your landscape construction and hardscaping services apart?
Our approach is defined by longevity and integration. Whether we're building a patio, walkway, or retaining wall, we construct it as a lasting part of your property. We use quality materials and proven techniques, ensuring proper drainage and foundation work—critical in Walnut Creek. As a family-run business, Mark Scharmer personally oversees each installation, applying the same meticulous standard we've used in irrigation since 1956 to every landscape and hardscape project for a cohesive, durable result.
Do you handle outdoor lighting design and installation?
Yes, we offer comprehensive low-voltage outdoor lighting services. This includes expert installation and repair of light fixtures to enhance safety and ambiance in your landscape. We design lighting layouts that complement your home's architecture and garden features, using reliable equipment. Just as with our irrigation work, we focus on a clean, durable installation so your lighting system remains a worry-free enhancement to your outdoor living space for years to come.
Our Story
Scharmer Sprinklers & Landscape is a family-owned Walnut Creek business with roots in irrigation that go back to 1956. Founded by Les Scharmer and now operated by his son Mark, the company has built its reputation on durability, not quick fixes. With over 20,000 installations completed, many from the 50s and 60s still functioning today, their philosophy is simple: use quality materials and meticulous installation to create systems that last for decades. While specializing in new irrigation, landscaping, and low-voltage lighting, a significant part of their work involves repairing or completely re-doing recent, failed installations from other companies. They approach every project—from a simple sprinkler repair to a complex hardscape with retaining walls and pathways—with the same personal oversight and commitment to results that allow homeowners to simply enjoy their outdoor space.
